Attilla the hen
Photo: David Thomas (Nikon D90)
She got a nice pair of legs.
She is a true warrior. I guess it proves that foxes kill for killings sake and not just for food. If foxes are protected, then they shouldn't be. By the way great pic.
You've got to love a militant feminist HEN!!!
....I love this picture, it reminds me of my Grandpa, who took up chickens for the eggs during World War 2. We always had lots of fresh eggs during the rationing!
Good photo. Is this a Rhode Island Red mix??
Amazing! I just started with chickens and got 2 a few weeks ago but one turned out to be a rooster. I took it back and replaced it and the new hen I got looks identical to Attilla
Foxes are vermin and a threat of rabbies. Lets not forget ducks, lambs and other small to medium wild life...their killers and damage our country side and farm land.
Think she's a Rhode Island Red......we used to keep chooks just like her....they give lovely brown eggs....we had the same trouble except a fox got all of ours.....not kept them since then.....too devastating.....nice pic David.....cheers!!!
Derek Platt. Foxes do what comes naturally to them, maybe people who keep chickens should protect them better.
What's the difference between a Hen and a Chicken!
If folks had been more vigilant with where they put their waste food, and hadn't started to treat foxes has pets and leaving out food for them, we wouldn't have this problem with the high population of urban foxes which we have now. If the folks who put out food happened to be bitten by a fox, then they would think twice before enticing them into their gardens, there's some nasty bacteria on foxes teeth.
"HMMMMMMMMMM" chicken dinner .
Foxes have as much right to live as any other animal.
Les,
A Hen is a female chicken.
A Rooster, or Cock, is an adult male chicken and a 'cockerel' is a young male chicken.
No Dirty Harry.......beautiful fresh cackle berries..... :-) .....cheers!!!
